The very best place to begin is with Prof. Alan Liu's monumental project, "The Voice of the Shuttle," which features an astonishing number of links to other sites, not just in Romanticism but throughout literary study - and also in other disciplines. You'll find materials for courses offered at other institutions, as well as a remarkable array of reference materials, from encyclopedias to map-making utilities and telephone directories. Have a look - you won't be disappointed.

The English Victorian Period page

Another fascinating website is the Romanticism Chronology, coordinated on Liu's site by Prof. Laura Mandell of Ohio University. Here you can select any year within the Romantic period and follow a variety of links to historical, social, political and other events, as well as to works of art in all the media. It is a rich and thoroughly fascinating resource. Home page for The Romanticism Chronology

Mandell has also posted a brief interactive, descriptive list of websites for the study of Romanticism

Home page for Romanticism on the Net

You will find an interesting and often useful set of links to help you with the study of Romantic writing generally, and with individual authors in particular, at

The Romantic Poetry Site

There are two sites in the United Kingdom dedicated to Romantic-era (and early Victorian) writing. The first is at Sheffield Hallam University, where there is a Corvey Project focused primarily on women's writing.Their home page, with many useful links, is located here:

The second site is at the University of Cardiff, where a different Corvey-based project has evolved in a larger project focused on Romantic texts and textualities. This extensive site, which features both an exciting array of research resources (including archives on publishers and their papers) and an on-line journal, can be found here:

Cardiff Corvey home page

Finally, a good, extensive interdisciplinary source for Romantic fashion and culture (with many sections on British culture 1660-1830):

The Regency Fashion Page

There is another way into this material, this one organized chronologically:

Regency Style Year by Year

NOTE: These two sites come and go from the Internet; if they are gone when you search, try again at some other time. They are worth finding, even if doing so is occasionally frustrating.

Here is a link to a site that is primarily about Jane Austen; it has many links to other aspects of Regency culture, however, and is well worth searching for views of people, places, costume, architecture, and a variety of other cultural phenomena.

The Republic of Pemberley

The very best place to begin searching any aspect of Victorian culture and society is The Victorian Web
